every reporter who covers AI should paste their latest piece into it and ask it to tell them if it’s good, and then when it offers obsequious praise, change the prompt to “tear it to shreds,” in order to understand on a personal level that it has no viewpoint and just responds to the prompt
It’s also time to start wondering if some of these reporters are a little cooked by the bots themselves. Reporters aren’t inured to chatbot psychosis. In fact, some of them may have drank too much of the kool aid from sources selling them stuff. We’re in a new world of stupid. Adjust your credulity.

It’s absolutely crazy how awful X, or Twitter, is now. The Grok stuff is just the tip of the iceberg. I went over there for five minutes to do my banking and it was absolutely appalling.

These are incompatible, if not contradictory, particularly when viewed through the lens of the 60 Minutes story on CECOT, something we all remember because it happened a week and a half ago and we’re not all as dumb as Bari.

I know I’ve said this many times before, but it’s my contention that buses have benefited *far* more from the advent of digital rider tools than trains have.
One thing I wrote about here is how technology has made buses *way* more convenient while techno-futurists were obsessed with flying taxis and self-driving cars.

Each year, I think I've polished my way to a timeless portfolio design that will last for years, only to feel it needs an overhaul 12 months later.
This year, I'm sure, is different. Design is objective and I have discovered the correct answer. My taste will never change.

imo software engineering will revolve around the super devs who are able to knock out entire sprints of work in a day or two when they need to.
critically though:
1) I do not think there are enough of these devs
2) no idea how you train more of these if you don't gain skills from pre-llm coding

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it
An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

Every so often it can be fun to read the Post and see just how incoherent the “reporting” is. It’s obvious what they’re trying to make you think but if you actually read the words, nothing makes any sense.

I know people hate Will Stancil, but this is simply objectively true.
The democratic socialist future is not piecemeal private mutual aid, it's sufficient taxation and spending to sustain the state capacity to bureaucratically ensure that no American goes hungry, homeless, or without health care.

Guys I know you’re all going to yell at me here but mutual aid is not meaningfully distinct from the kind of privatized community charity system where poor people go to the church and hope someone has donated a hot meal. It’s not progressive, it’s not effective, it’s not good service provision.
"poor enough to need mutual aid"
Everyone needs mutual aid.
Everyone needs mutual aid.

There’s a wide spectrum of driving behavior that lies in the space between “purely accidental” and “intentional,” that is still criminal.
Intent totally matters, but it’s not the only thing that matters!

This kind of reasoning drives me nuts. No, the driver did not set out to kill anyone with her car that night, but she did do something known to be incredibly dangerous with consequences anyone could have expected. Obviously she didn't intend to harm another person. But she also didn't intend not to.

the fact that there is free parking at all in manhattan is wild to me
“Pairing free buses with paid parking says we value people in motion more than cars at rest,” writes Nicolas Rohatyn.
Opinion | The Way to Pay for Free Buses Is to End Free Parking
Free buses would be transformative not only for riders, but for the ecosystem of the city as a whole.
